a break
I've come back even more tired than when I left. The past 4 days have been eye-opening, (ok maybe the few hours that I wasn't in a shopping mall oops) seeing the streets of Thailand and experiencing it first hand. It's my first trip to the land of smiles, but these people are quite unfriendly especially when they realise you're a foreigner.
I feel like I'm a disgrace to society, because I didn't do much sight-seeing or cultural exchange from the moment I stepped out of the Suvarnabhumi Airport. The only thing I did was what Singaporeans are famous for - shop, shop and shop till I dropped. I did manage to catch snippets of Thailand though, from the child beggars on the streets to the roadside stalls to the terrible traffic jams. Then you realise the importance of good governance, and I wonder what Singapore would be like if we had rested on our laurels 40 years ago.
To be honest, street food is nothing to die for. The meals I enjoyed more were at restaurants with authentic Thai food and good ambience. The after-effects of this trip are so gonna show on my girth and hips x.x but who cares it was worth it.
One lesson that spurned from this trip though, was that it really opened my eyes to the truth about people. I went with two friends and this trip led me to understand what the meaning of a MCP is. I finally have someone to use as a standard when it comes to defining what counts as a MCP, and it is unbelievable how such people exist. But I enjoyed it nonetheless, the precious quiet moments sitting at TomN'Toms sipping coffee, watching the world go by, talking till the wee hours of the morning, shopping with someone who has the same preferences so it means we get discounts since we buy more. It's been a great trip, and I'm looking forward to getting at least a day's worth of rest before school starts.
I miss so many people one week's not gonna be enough to catchup with all of them :<
